Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for handling a request for a text message session on an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) capable network. For example, a device is communicatively coupled at a location of the IMS capable network. The method includes receiving a request from the device for a text message session on the IMS capable network and determining whether the IMS capable network supports next generation 911 (NG911) or interim text-to-911 at the location of the device. Upon determining that the IMS capable network is incapable of supporting NG911, redirecting the request for the text message session to a text control center (TCC). The method further includes causing the TCC to establish the text message session with a public safety answering point (PSAP) that supports text-to-911.
